HSBC Premier Referral $150 Amazon Gift Card

Recently, a friend plans to relocate her family back to Taiwan for family and medical reasons. In the process, she plans to sell her US houses and purchase a residence unit in Taiwan. But she does not have Taiwan credit history. She is our second friend we have recommended using HSBC overseas credit qualification to purchase overseas properties. (We do not work at HSBC). We were glad to share our experience. Last year, we were fortunate to be able to secure a small residence unit with mortgage offered by HSBC Taiwan, using Isa's US income, Taiwan citizenship and US FICO score in two months.

Open a new HSBC Checking or IRA account with minimum $100,000

I found opening a qualifying IRA account is the simplest approach. It has been an excellent HSBC experience, and convenient for our overseas banking needs. Please read our experience with HSBC for more detail.
